Scale
Cake Ingredients
- 4 level tbsp self-raising flour
- 2 level tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
- 8–10 blueberries
Frosting
- 1 level tbsp full fat cream cheese
- 1 level tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: In a standard sized mug, add the self-raising flour, caster sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla essence. Stir briskly with a fork for about 20 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the cake batter, stirring briefly to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
- Prepare cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, mix together the full fat cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Using a spoon, scoop the cream cheese frosting and gently plunge the tip of the spoon into the center of the cake batter in the mug until it touches the bottom. Use a smaller spoon or your clean finger to scrape off the frosting from the spoon so it sits snugly within the center of the batter.
- Microwave the cake: Place the mug in a 900W microwave and cook for approximately 90 seconds. Cooking times may vary based on microwave power, so adjust slightly if needed. The cake should be fluffy and risen when done.
- Serve warm: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave once cooked and enjoy your warm, single-serving blueberry cheesecake mug cake immediately.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; start with 90 seconds and increase in 10-second increments if needed.
- Use full fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor in the frosting.
- You can substitute blueberries with other fresh or frozen berries if desired.
- For a slightly healthier version, consider using low-fat cream cheese and reduced sugar, but results may vary.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick dessert or snack that can be made in under 5 minutes.
